Garden Patch Salmon Dinner

This is one of my favorite recipes for salmon. We try to have this dinner at least twice a month. The juices from the tomatoes make a delicious sauce for the whole dish.

4. If you are using the edamame add to pan and cook 3 to 5 minutes. If using peas or snap peas add to pan, stir to coat and remove from the burner.
5. Split the potatoes between two individual casserole dishes and put in half of the dish. Remove the pea (edamame) mixture with a slotted spoon and put half in the other side of the casserole dish from the potatoes. Put half of the tomatoes on top of the pea mixture in each dish. Place a fish fillet on top of each pea mixture. Brush the top of the potatoes and fish with the basil oil left in the skillet. Salt and pepper the fish to taste.
